Line Infantry Expansion Set Federated States of America Product Code: DLFS43 One of the core strengths of the Federated States, and by extension its military, is the immense diversity and opportunity afforded its citizens.

This impressively elaborate model perfectly suits the look and feel of the Federal Infantry. On the battlefield these.50 Gatling Guns are a deadly supplement to a force. Able to provide punishing covering fire whilst the F.I.s bring their carbines to bear, FSA commanders will find this support invaluable Dangerous and versatile, the Scouts and Buffalo Hunters are masters of battlefield control.
